Evolution Theatre’s "Andy Warhol in Iran" offers a look at the artist in Tehran

In 1976 Andy Warhol, having re-invented himself as the portrait painter of the rich and famous, travels to Tehran commissioned to take polaroids of the Shah’s wife. Amidst taking in the Crown Jewels and ordering room service caviar, Warhol encounters a young revolutionary who throws his plans into turmoil and opens the pop icon’s eyes to a world beyond himself. A fictionalized portrait of the artist’s famed visit to Iran that leaves you asking, “Who was the artist and who was the revolutionary?”
